Training in a Tough Economy

Oct. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- The economy is unpredictable. Companies aren’t out of the woods, workforces are being slimmed down and good people are out of work.

When it comes to training employees, companies still want to invest in their workforce. Tighter restraints on spending and travel expense being near non-existent companies make it nearly impossible. Virtual learning continues to be a cost effective training delivery option companies are exploring, but good training content is harder to come by.

Training companies like Leadership Strategies in Atlanta are introducing creative alternatives for businesses in this economy.

By offering licenses of their training content, Leadership Strategies is able to offer companies expert-developed content at almost half the overall training expenses.  

When Michael Wilkinson, CEO of Leadership Strategies, was asked why his company started licensing its training classes he said, “We looked at the change in the economy and realized the face of training was going to change for a while. We believe our training, especially The Effective Facilitator, is a course that can greatly impact how meetings are run in a company, saving them time and money. That is still an experience we want people to have. Licensing our products allows our message and philosophy to get out to companies and yet provides them with a cost effective way to make their company more streamlined.”

As companies continue to operate under tight budgets, developing their staff doesn’t have to be a luxury. There are creative and affordable options to invest in their organization and their people.
